Tro tro’s – they are cheap, they can get you anywhere and they come often

Being referred to as “the white one”

Having children chant “Obruni obruni obruni” in a sing-song manner

People greeting each other just because

Buying water and just about anything you can think through the window of a tro tro

Listening to roosters crowing daily

An African Proverb that I found in the newpaper recently:

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster then than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.”
